Why Did Jesus And The Prophets In The Bible Say Nothing Concerning Adam? (From the perspective of Christianity)

1. According to the Holy Bible Adam is a significant character in the story of creation. He is the first human created by God. He has no father neither a mother. He is proclaimed as the son of God. A perfect creation with a free will.

2. Adam is married to Eve who also has no father and mother. Eve was created by God from the ribs of Adam. In the story of creation Eve was the first human clone.

3. God created mankind in the image of God to rule over the Earth. Somewhere on Earth is the Garden of Eden where God placed Adam and Eve as husband and wife naked without any clothing. They were also without any knowledge of good and evil because the first commandment of God to mankind was a diet law that forbids them from eating the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The fruit is harmful and poisonous as it will result in instant death if eaten.

4. Adam and Eve who were without any knowledge of good and evil did not eat the deadly fruit and willingly obeyed God until they were tempted and tricked by a smart and evil serpent. They both fell into sin when they disobeyed God.

5. Adam and Eve as well as the serpent were cursed by God who was so infuriated when He finally realized that both Adam and Eve had the knowledge of good and evil just like God. Eve was cursed with the pain of child bearing. Adam was cursed with working for a living. The serpent was cursed as a slithering dust eating reptile. Later as sinners, Adam and Eve were consequently clothed by God before God finally banished the couple because God does not want them to have eternal life by eating the fruit from the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden.

6. In Christianity the wrath of God with Adam was so bitter and the sin of Adam was so severe to the extent that even the descendant of Adam inherited the sin of Adam. In fact sin is so catastrophic that it is the cause of death amongst mankind and it also sever all relationship with God who is holy and pure. That relationship can only be restored by Jesus Christ who glorified God by giving his life for the redemption of our sins. Yet not a word from Jesus nor from any other prophet concerning Adam and the gravity of his fall from grace. As if the story of Adam is a non-issue. It’s like Adam never sin or is sinless.

7. Could it be that whatever transpired between Adam and God was viewed as a purely personal matter between Adam and God? That Adam was responsible only to himself alone and face the consequences alone without implicating others? That messengers are chosen among mankind by God and send as prophets to keep guiding mankind on the right path instead of a Christo-centric purpose for the glorification of God?

8. Meanwhile, what is the Islamic version and approach on the story of Adam in the light of the purpose of creation by God Almighty?
